• New build or upgrade?

New build

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

No.

• PC purpose?

Primarily for college engineering work. (Modeling/design, simulation/analysis, programming, etc.). I would love for this to last me all four years. Will probably use for gaming every once in a while. (multiplayer games like rocket league, valorant, fortnite, overwatch, etc.)

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

US. Not really (1 hr drive, won't have a car)

• Monitors needed?

One IPS monitor, ideally 1440p 120Hz.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

PC: Ideally under 1200$ USD but have the flexibility to go up to 1500$ USD if that makes a big difference.

Monitor: 200 USD hard cap pre-tax.

• WiFi or wired connection?

Will have ethernet in my dorm.

• Size/noise constraints?

Would prefer mid tower but full tower is probably fine. Volume shouldn't matter too much, but preferably not loud enough to piss off my roommate.

• Color/lighting preferences?

Don't care about RGB. Would prefer less to more though.
